Disability, Obesity and Ageing offers an engaging account of a new
area of pressing concern, analysing the way in which 'spurned'
identities are depicted and reacted to in televisual genres and
online forums. Examining the symbolic power of the media, this book
presents case studies from drama, situation comedies, reality and
documentary television programmes popular in the UK, USA and
Australia to shed light on the representation of disability,
obesity and ageing, and the manner in which their status as
unwanted and unwelcome identities is perpetuated. A theoretically
sophisticated exploration of television as a translator of
identity, and the exploration of identity categories in allied
virtual spaces, this book will be of interest to sociologists, as
well as scholars of popular culture, and cultural and media
studies.
